Definitions
A canary in a coal mine refers to a warning signal or an early indicator of potential danger or trouble, originating from the historical practice of using canaries to detect toxic gases in coal mines. If the canary became ill or died, it served as a warning to miners to evacuate due to hazardous conditions.
